Since Love Island kicked off its winter edition in South Africa last Sunday, viewers have been commenting on the resemblance between one of the new Islanders and last summer's winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. Fans of the ITV dating show think 26-year-old hair stylist Tanyel Revan is "Ekin-Su 2.0" as the drama gets underway in the famous TV villa.
In Friday night's episode there were tears when she 'stole' Ron Hall from Lana Jenkins during the show's first recoupling, after he ended things with new bombshell Zara Lackenby-Brown in favour of prioritising his budding romance with Lana. Lana cried after Tanyel swooped in, and was clearly rattled as she stood up to pick the boy she wanted to be coupled-up with. "This decision is s***," she said as she picked Will Young.
Over on Twitter, viewers think Tanyel has a striking likeness to Ekin-Su, who went on to win the show with Manchester businessman Davide Sanclimenti after their romance started out on a rocky path when she sneaked away to the terrace to kiss newcomer Jay Younger.
